Reading Reflection - Choosing Books

My reflection this week is about my ability to choose books. Since its the beginning of the school year I needed to find a book.  I chose The First of the Lord of the Rings Series.  It was too hard for me. So then I had to search for a new book. For me I like to stay in the futuristic genre and the more fantasy books. I have to learn to expand my reading choices. It is really hard to find a good book for me.  This year I am going to try my hardest to read more of different genres.

SuperSmartNote

In the first few pages of reading, The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R Tolkien there was a lot if crazy vocab thrown at me.  This book is in a whole different land. This made me activate my schema on all I know about middle earth.  When the book said on page 43 "Rumor of the coming event traveled all over the shire." Without knowing my schema activated, thinking about how rumors "spread" through places. The shire must be the town or like the center of the town.  This helped me understand that the Lord of the Rings has its own sort of "language". i should do some research about middle earth.
